About the dormant private company limited by shares package

In any given period, a company is dormant if it does not carry out any accounting transactions, disregarding the following: -

1. The payment for membership issued on formation of the company;
2. The fee paid to Companies House to change the company's name;
3. The fee paid to Companies House on filing an annual return;
4. The payment of a civil penalty for late filing of accounts.

Dormant companies must file the dormant accounts with Companies House and Inland Revenue. If a company commences trading or carries out any transaction (other than those listed above) then it will cease to be dormant and normal company accounts will have to be filed.

Who is this package for?

Our dormant private company limited by shares formation package is ideal for those, who will use a dormant company for the following purpose(s): -

1. To protect a business name, or to be the owner of the domain name(s);
2. To own an asset such as land or intellectual property;
3. To hold shares of other companies' shares (including business entities registered in other countries);
4. To use an entity as the management company (property or business management purpose);
5. To use a dormant entity as the corporate director, shareholder, or as the secretary in other companies.

If your new limited company or organisation is not yet active - in other words, it is not yet carrying on business activity or trading - you will need to tell HMRC when it does become active.

Our dormant private company limited by shares formation package ensures you meet the statutory obligations as a director of the dormant company with the tax authorities and all governing bodies.

1. The registration of a company (including the government fee for the incorporation of a company).
2. The provision of the registered office address for a dormant company in Belfast.
3. The provision of a nominee secretary to protect the director(s) responsibility.
4. The initial registration of your company as a dormant with the HMRC.
5. The provision of the tax agent with the HMRC.
6. The government mail forwarding to your own address.
7. The keeping your company registers at the registered office address.
8. The preparation of the annual return and year-end dormant account and its submission with the Companies Registrar and Inland Revenue (Tax Office).

Coddan offers the fixed fee for the dormant account package to private limited companies. Our professional accountants will take care of your dormant company account preparation and filing with the HMRC (Tax Office) for you. We will create the minutes of the directors and shareholders' meetings required to approve the dormant account.

With this package, we will also file an annual return for behalf of your company on time, and register the annual return with the Companies House. At the end of the financial year, we will also prepare and file your company' dormant account with the Companies House and the Inland Revenue (HMRC) for the next year.

We will also provide you an exclusive certificate of the dormant status of your company. Your certificate will be printed in an elegant format, sealed, and laminated, this document fully compliance with the Companies Act 2006 and Finance Act 2008.

Please be reminded that failed to file your dormant company account by the deadline given by Companies House, your company must pay late filing penalty of £150.00 for a day late, £375.00 if it is three months late and up to £1,500 if more than six months late.

Appoint your own candidates (officers)

Summary:About the minimum number of officers you need

A private company limited by shares in England or Wales must have at least one director, one shareholder, and may have a secretary.

You need at least one person to form this type of company. If there is only one director, and that director is a natural person in your company, that director can also act as the secretary.

A company must have at least one director who is a natural person. This requirement is met if a natural person as a corporation holds the office of director sole or otherwise by virtue of an office.

You can register a sole director' company, if you are familiar with the secretaries duties and responsibilities, because all of them belongs to a sole director.

The directors and secretary of your company can also be shareholders.

The Companies Act imposes no restriction on the minimum age of company directors. However Companies House will actively discourage the appointment of anyone under the age of 16 from taking up a company directorship because the individuals concerned may not fully understand the legal liabilities that go with the position and for the most part will not have the experience necessary to perform the duties of a company director.

Under the Companies Act 2006, there is no restriction on any or all of the members/shareholders being from an overseas country (i.e. outside the United Kingdom in terms of residency, domicile, and citizenship, place of incorporation or all or any of those concepts). Nevertheless, this general proposition may be subject to any applicable foreign investment rules which may apply from time to time.

It is a criminal offence to appoint a non-existent, not permitted for use or fake details for the company' officers appointments.

Authorised share capital

Explanation:Standard share capital upon formation of your company

A company's issued share capital is usually at least £1.00, but can be far greater to take account of the number of shareholders and their individual control of the company.

If you choose the standard share capital option, we shall proceed on the basis that there is only one class of ordinary shares of £1.00 and they are to be fully paid up.

Explanation:Non-standard share capital upon formation of your company

The company may be registered with share capital that is greater than the amount it needs as initial working capital. After satisfying that need, it will therefore have a number of un-issued shares that the board can keep in reserve for future share issues.

When applying for the alternative share capital for your company, please make sure that the value per share is not less than £1.00. If you desire to have value per share less then £1.00 (for example 10p or 1p), you will need to apply for the paper filing for your company at additional charge. Please contact us for more details: orders@coddan.co.uk.

If you want to register a company with a non-standard share capital and issue special shares, it is often advisable to contact us before registering your company.

E-mail us at info@coddan.co.uk, if you need further help with a non-standard capital and issue special shares. Additional fees apply for a non-standard share capital with issue special shares.

The memorandum and articles of association

Explanation:Our standard version of the memorandum and articles of association

Coddan' special drafted and solicitors adopted memorandum and articles of association, which can be used not only in the UK, our own memorandum and articles of association will be very useful and accepted in other overseas countries. We do not use the Companies House' standard model of the memorandum and articles as most of others UK companies formation agents.

Our standard version of the memorandum and articles of association is very widely drawn, and is suitable for most types of business.

An electronic copy of our standard memorandum and articles of association is included with your company formation.

Additional printed and bound copies of our standard memorandum & articles of association can be provided, either at the time of original incorporation (at the same order form below) or at a later date.

Explanation:About non-standard memorandum and articles of association

If you want to have specifically drafted objects and clauses included in the memorandum and articles of association of your company, simply send them to us, and we will include them.

If you request a non-standard memorandum and articles of association, the formation of your company will be delayed by between 24 and 48 hours.

Please do not request a guaranteed same-day incorporation if you also require a non-standard memorandum and articles of association.

Explanation:Using your own memorandum and articles of association

We can register your company using your own memorandum and articles of association. Simply complete this order, and then e-mail us (orders@coddan.co.uk) the memorandum and articles of association that you want to register your company with.

The added administration will slow the formation of your company, so please do not request a guaranteed same-day incorporation if you are supplying your own memorandum and articles of association.

I want to use the standard version of the memorandum and articles of association - It's included in our price!

Non-standard memorandum and articles of association - £65.00

Supply your own version of the memorandum and articles of association - £75.00

The trademark or/and business name registration

Explanation:About the trade name registration service

Business or trading name may be used by a limited company (e.g. John Doe Services LTD may trade as a 'J. Doe's Bakery'). The use of a business name does not create a separate legal entity from a company, which is using the name.

With this option we will prepare all necessary paper forms to allocate a trade name to your limited company' name.

We will also provide you an exclusive certificate of the trading name adoption.

Trademarks are one of the most important tools in the promotion and recognition of your business' goods or services. Trademarks are the primary means by which customers can recognize your products. A trademark registration gives you the right to stop others from using the same or a similar trademark in relation to your goods or services, and in many cases, a trademark registration can itself become a valuable asset.

If you require a trade mark search - to ensure your newly registered company name does not conflict with any European and UK protected trademarks.

1. Secures a statutory monopoly. It will give you the exclusive right to use your mark for the goods and/or services that it covers in the UK.
2. Deters others from using your trademark. A trade mark registration can be used to prevent the registration or use of an identical or similar mark by another individual or company.
3. Makes it your property which means you can sell it or license the use of it to others in exchange for payment.
4. Can add quantifiable goodwill and value to a business on sale.

Costs
We can take care of the registration process from start to finish.

Stage 1 - Filing
1. To file a UK trademark application in one class we charge a fixed fee of £350.00. Of this, our legal charges for preparing and filing the application are just £150.00. The official filing fee is £200.00.

2. For each additional class we charge a fixed fee of £100.00. Of this, our legal charges are £50.00 and the official fee is £50.00.

3. It is possible to file a fast-track application which will be examined within 10 business days after filing for an additional £300.00 cost.

Stage 2 – Prosecution
After filing your application, we charge on a time and materials basis for the work we undertake through to the registration of the mark.

Our charges will depend upon how straightforward the application is and whether it receives any objections. This is not something we can predict with absolute certainty, although we do aim to warn you if your application is likely to be problematic.

There are a wide variety of objections that can be raised by an examiner including that your trade mark is descriptive and not distinctive e.g. the trademark SHOES for a 'shoe store'.

In the event of an objection, we would need to respond to the examiner. Responding to objections may include presenting evidence of use, engaging in correspondence and/or attending a hearing with the examiner.

A third party may oppose your trade mark application on a number of grounds including that it is identical or similar to their trademark and that there exists a likelihood of confusion between your proposed trademark and their registered trade mark.

In the event of an opposition, we will advise you of your additional legal charges and expenses before proceeding on your behalf.

Note that most but not all trademark applications are straightforward and go through without significant objection or opposition.

Total Cost
You are looking at an estimated total cost of £600.00 if the application proves straightforward and is registered in one class only.

The UK trademark registration - £600.00
